KDE Plasma 5 Becomes the Default Desktop of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

What was being tested? A massive amount of changes, bringing not only the latest Plasma 5.3 and Applications 15.04.1 to Tumbleweed, but also marking the switch to Plasma 5 as the default desktop!" The switch to P5 will also have a massive impact in Plasma 5 development because now there will be more users finding bugs and filing reports to make it even better.

    Plasma 5 is out for a long time now and the successor of KDE 4.x. So why shouldn't the distros adopt it?

      Cue in the Linux fanboy brigade who will rigorously want to deny this "instability" that you are talking about.

      That's different from the Windows and Mac fanboy brigades... how?
